This is the Rune Fragment.
It is organized by countless rules of Law Theory, a power mark that has been refined through innumerable laws. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the Crystal Fragment is not substantial; rather, it is composed of densely interwoven lines that are constantly changing every moment, ultimately revealing the outline of the Crystal Fragment!
Although the Rune Fragment can significantly enhance Garen's strength, this enhancement is inherently limited. At least in the quest for extreme power, it offers little assistance. In contrast, using the Rune Fragment to exchange for a form of extreme power seems to be the most appropriate method at present.
Moreover, Garen's trading partner is Merlin, a world-class legendary figure.
Merlin gazed at the Crystal Fragment, her eyes instantly deepening, dark light flickering as if she were trying to see through something within it while also deducing something.
However, soon enough, shock appeared in Merlin's eyes!
She found herself completely unable to see through this Crystal Fragment; more accurately, the hidden rules within it were an enigmatic existence even she struggled to touch or decipher!
In addition, she sensed a special power emanating from the Crystal Fragment. No matter how she deduced it, it ultimately pointed to the same conclusion: as long as Garen did not permit it, she wouldn't even be able to touch this Crystal Fragment!
This made any thoughts of theft impossible.
"Leave it with me, and I can give you what you desire," Merlin said, her gaze fixed on Garen, her tone somewhat impatient.
At this moment, Tifet and the others were left stunned. They watched as Garen shook his head and smiled before casually sitting down.
"Then it’s not just a form of extreme power."
What?
Tifet and the others were taken aback. Did Garen mean he wanted to ask Merlin for something else? Just as they hesitated and prepared to remind Garen of that woman's identity, Merlin's response once again shocked them.
"Of course, a proper transaction is built on reason and fairness." Merlin composed herself and then glanced lightly at Tifet and the others.
They understood something and politely bid farewell before stepping outside.
Clearly, Merlin did not wish for them to participate in the upcoming conversation.
Once Tifet and the others had left, Merlin turned back and took out a small wooden box. Opening it revealed a carved eye made of a special material, tightly closed yet exuding a sense of sanctity.
"This is the Holy Eye. A treasured relic from the Celestial Race's vault," Merlin said reluctantly as he handed it to Garen. "Although I don't particularly like the Celestial Race, their Holy power is undeniable."
Garen accepted the wooden box and nodded. "Thank you, but this is still not enough."
Merlin felt a bit displeased with Garen's attitude, but thinking of the Crystal Fragment on the table, he forced a smile and retrieved a sealed Golden Scroll from the corner.
"It’s clear that you need more than one type of extreme power... When multiple extreme powers converge, friction is inevitable. With your current strength, you won't be able to resolve such conflicts."
Merlin handed over the scroll and said, "Inside is a ready-made magic circle that will guarantee to help you eliminate these troubles."
The issue of extreme powers colliding had been mentioned by Yasthia and Garen. However, since the three extreme powers had yet to be found, it hadn’t been taken seriously. Nevertheless, this scroll was indeed what Garen needed.
"It seems like it's still lacking a bit," Garen said as he took the scroll.
"Lacking?" Merlin suddenly became anxious. "Do you know the value of these two items? Just this magic circle that I personally inscribed is worth enough to buy one-seventh of the Holy Empire!"
"Then you should also know the value of this fragment," Garen replied with a smile.
The Rune Fragment contained the essence of laws. In Garen's hands at present, it could only be used to enhance his strength, which was actually a waste. In Merlin's hands, however, she would focus more on the laws themselves. Of course, Garen did not believe she had the ability to fully comprehend Rune Power, but undeniably, it held an irresistible allure for her.
From this perspective, the Rune Fragment was priceless.
Both the Holy Eye and the magic circle that could be exchanged for one-seventh of an empire were valuable.
Merlin squinted at Garen, then turned away after a moment and pulled out two items in one breath.
"A drop of Berfant's blood, and the Spirit Well of the Storm Tribe."
Before Garen lay a test tube containing a single drop of blood and a translucent, soul-shaped ceramic jar.
"What use is this?" Garen asked, puzzled.
Merlin scoffed, as if mocking Garen's ignorance, then pointed at the test tube. "The blood of Berfant contains his insights on life. Although it's just a drop, it is enough to sustain your vitality. In other words, it will become your second life."
"Who is Berfant?"
"The Sixth Ancestor of the ancient bloodline."
Garen had encountered bloodlines several times before. Although he did not like that kind of negative power, it was undeniable that it was an ancient and mysterious race. Even with Miyelin's brothers, they could hardly showcase even a fraction of the bloodline's wonders.
Garen stared at the blood in the test tube, falling into an inexplicable silence.
"I know what you're thinking. Heh, I must say that's a ridiculous and laughable thought. This drop of blood would incite continent-level battles if exposed, and you think it's dirty?" Merlin felt that he had spoken more today than he usually did in a week. "Berfant has been dead for a long time. The power of the bloodline within this drop has nearly vanished; what remains is merely the insight into life. You can use it with confidence."
Garen's gaze shifted to the translucent ceramic jar. "What about this?"
"The Storm Tribe was the pride of the Werewolf Clan, but unfortunately perished on the battlefield two hundred years ago. This Spirit Well is the essence of their Fighting Spirit..." Merlin paused and frowned. "Let's skip the useless details. In short, you can understand it as a source of Fighting Spirit."
"By integrating it into your body, your Fighting Spirit can remain at its peak until its power is exhausted."
Garen understood and couldn't help but marvel inwardly. Simply put, this Spirit Well was like an endless supply that could keep Garen's Fighting Spirit in perfect condition, meaning he could advance at any time until the Spirit Well's power ran out.
Of course, this would only be effective if his strength improved steadily.
What truly excited Garen was the possibility of using this Spirit Well; perhaps he could finally unleash those two Second Rank skills! And he wouldn't have to worry about the issue of Fighting Spirit anymore!
"I still need you to help me with one more thing," Garen said after a moment of silence.
"Isn't that enough?" Merlin's expression darkened. "These two items are already the maximum I can offer. If I give you anything more, I'll really be at a loss!"
Merlin felt that Garen was nothing short of a robber! From her childhood, when the tsunami struck Arthur Coast at her birth, to her current secluded life in this remote town, she had engaged in countless transactions, but this one felt the most "unfair"!
Indeed, she had exchanged precious treasures for stones picked up from the ground countless times, yet never had she made such repeated concessions as she did today!
However, just thinking about the shard on the corner of the table made it impossible for her to resist its peculiar allure!
"Just say it directly; what do you want to obtain from me?" After seeing through Garen's nature as a "robber," Merlin's attitude gradually became firmer as she coldly stated, "But I must remind you that I am already quite angry."
It seemed that the Legendary Mage's fury caused various creatures in the attic to tremble.
Garen merely moved his hand and took out the Undead Staff.
"What do you mean?" Merlin narrowed her eyes.
"It's like this..." Garen smiled and said, "There’s a Soul inside here that doesn’t behave well. I hope you can help me teach it a lesson."
Yes, to truly achieve a balance among the three parties, this problem with the Revenant Master had to be resolved, and the only one who could assist Garen here was Merlin the Mage.
At that moment, however, the Legendary Mage looked utterly stunned.
"What do you think I am? A servant?!"
"Uh... if that's not possible, then we can exchange it for treasures instead..."
“……”
“Do you have any other extreme powers, such as…”
“Hand me that damned staff! Now! Immediately! Give it to me!”
……
The moment Merlin grasped the staff, a scornful smile appeared on her face.
“So it’s just an obsession, Undead Entity… Heh, you think you can help me attain the eternal truth? Do you even know who you’re talking to?”
Garen pressed his fingers against his temples, clearly aware that the Revenant Master was currently trying to manipulate the Legendary Mage…
However, Garen was quite curious to see how Merlin would deal with the Revenant Master. After all, defeating a Soul was not difficult; subduing it was the real challenge.
Merlin’s left hand left the staff’s grip, and at the same time, she pulled out a massive shadow. A piercing howl echoed from within the shadow, and a tall figure could be faintly seen struggling to break free!
At that moment, the Legendary Mage’s right hand unexpectedly held a mirror.
She placed the mirror in front of the shadow.
“Ugly thing, take a good look at what you are right now!”
